Since I've announced the closing of our web shop/online catalog, I've been swamped with orders. Filling feather orders in addition to working a 50 hour a week day job has lead to a bit of burn out. I needed to take a break today, and decided to tie a fly I've had on my mind for a couple of years. It's called the "Steelhead Riach"..

I'd also like to thank everyone for the support these last few years with our business. I will miss being your supplier, but I'm looking forward to spending more time with my family and doing some fishing and tying. All the best, AO
